Level 17

Von Croy's Apartment

Beware of the cleaner he's not cleaning the apartment he's hiding in the apartment waiting for you to make a mistake and you will encounter him after picking up goodies. I encountered the cleaner only after picking up goodies from the area near the couch with the table and fallen chairs.

You'll be well armed here after picking up everything plenty of ammo and health goodies as well as a Jackal walking stick and a few weapons. Bottom line is to take the cleaner down and he won't come out until we go where he wants us to so follow the walkthrough to draw him out.

Thoroughly scour the area for goodies and the desks in the apartment for info. OK I think we are ready!

We end up at the scene of the crime in Von Croy's apartment and in here we find quite a few goodies on the floor around the room and kitchen area. If you go to Von Croy's office area to the PC and desk you'll find out about the Lux Veritatis and The Sanglyph an artefact created by Eckhardt. One key item to find is the Jackal walking stick. There are three exits in this area. The stairs, another doorway and a door behind the spiral stairs. If we go to the alternate doorway we'll find Lasers across the door. Lara explodes after passing through them so beware.

Through the door behind the stair are more goodies pick them up and go left up the stairs to Von Croy's bathroom you'll find a health pack by the shower on the wall. Head to the next room and to the desk and press action to find out about the Cabal. Goodies are also on the floor but nothing is under the bed. If we encounter the Cleaner at this point draw your weapon and shoot him until he runs away. You can now follow him. We head into the area where we saw the door blocked with lasers. The cleaner disabled the lasers so we can go through.

On our left are more lasers I would go right and into the room. More goodies on the floor grab them quick as the cleaner returns breaking down a wall. Shoot him again he leaves behind more weapons and ammo. So go through the broken wall to get them and after head through the next doorway only to find lasers left and right. Go back through the broken wall and find the doorway in the room and find a door with a red sign over it.

More goodies are inside and more lasers. Leave this area and head back to the broken wall the cleaner made. This is a good time to scour the area to be sure you picked up all of your goodies as there are so many and the cleaner will not bother us yet.

Once back through the broken wall and through the exit where we left the lasers left and right turn Lara right and for PS2 press the crawl and L2 to perform a belly crawl underneath both sets of trip lasers. Head down the rest of the way and turn right a brief cut scene of Von Croy's first floor getting bombed by our cleaner and the house is on fire!!! The fire extinguisher doesn't work and the fire exit is locked!

The cleaner is waiting but we have to get the Large Health pack first so jump the stairs that have been split by that the blast and get the goodies and head back to the stairs and jump across. Head back down the hall on your left is a goodie and run to the doorway on your left is a goodie. If you peer down the hall the cleaner has set the laser traps to blink on and off trying to trap us and he's hanging out down the other end.

Time the first laser and when it goes out go through then shoot your weapon at the cleaner this time his lights are out for good. A cut scene has Lara going to the cleaner who has his cell phone ringing. Guess who it is? Bouchard asking if Lara has been taken care of. Lara tells Bouchard he's next on her list and he scrams the scene in his limo. Lara finds a card in the cleaner's pocket and says it's time to head to Prague.

Ending this level and onto The Monstrom Crime scene.
